About the Big Event

Any student, staff or faculty of the University of Kansas. However, all volunteers MUST be affiliated with the University. All volunteers must sign-up to participate and note if they are in a group. One individual in each group must be listed as the main contact as they will receive further information about day-of logistics and volunteering. 

Just fill out the online registration form by yourself noting which floor/group you want to join.

Yes! Individuals can register without joining a floor/group and they will be paired with others who registered as an individual. Lots of people register that way.

No, we need for you to sign up to be paired with a job site and receive all of the necessary liability information.

You will get to spend the four hours working with a community member or several. We are non-need based and a way of saying thank you. Jobs range from raking leaves, helping clean out garages, washing windows, and more. We can do anything that doesn’t involve power tools. The volunteers are scheduled to be at their job sites for four hours so whatever can be done in that time.

We are happy to sign any forms, but you need to check that this will count. If you miss the deadline, give us a call! 785-864-7469.

No, anyone is welcome to sign up as a job site. Homes, agencies, parks, etc.

No, KU liability will not allow us to go outside of Lawrence City limits.

We can do anything that doesn’t involve power tools. The volunteers are scheduled to be there for four hours so whatever they can get done in that time.

We are working through the list of job sites submissions but are a bit behind. If it was over a week ago, please email bigeventku.outreach@gmail.com or call 785-864-7469 and they can let you know who will be contacting you.

Yes, but you are liable for talking to the owner.
